Infrastructure & Construction

Detect unpermitted building and monitor corridors and earthworks at national scale — change detection plus survey-grade terrain.

Authorities and asset owners need to know what is being built, where, and whether it is allowed — across territories too large to inspect on the ground. Construction is small, dispersed and constant, and the terrain context for earthworks has historically required expensive surveys.

EarthToDate detects new construction directly from dated imagery, classifies land cover without training data, watches linear corridors for encroachment, and supplies a 1 m BaseDEM accurate enough for cut-fill, grading and drainage — replacing episodic LiDAR for most planning work.

Together these give planning offices, registries and infrastructure operators a continuous, jurisdiction-wide view of physical change, without flying or driving the whole area.
